December Challenge plus Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer!

Wacky Rudolf!

This is my Christmas Card to the owner of The Frame Gallery. They gave me a gift of a reindeer last Christmas so this year I am giving one back in my own style!

Happy Christmas Jan!

Thank you so much to everyone who tried to guess what my mystery painting was, I loved reading all the suggestions.

Now it's your turn!

Take one of your most unusual Christmas decorations and paint it, bringing it to life as a Christmas card design. But don't stop there! The aim is to give it to someone who made you smile this year.

Have fun,be unique and aim to have a touch of craziness in your results.This is not a time of the year to restrict your energy or happinness from moving your brushes,

Have fun

I dare you!

The Artist Magazine : Book Review

Jean Haines' Atmospheric Watercolours

"The book is nothing less than a paean to the wet in wet technique. If that's your thing, prepare to be amazed. Jean Haines credits Jean Louis Morelle, and in many ways this book is the sequel to Morelle's remarkable, but very technical work, showing the wealth of creative possibilities the technique offers. A lot of the images are barely recognisable and yet you instinctively know what they are. I wish I knew how, because this is impressionism taken to its logical conclusion and reminiscent of some of the later work by JMW Turner. You will have to take it from me that "First signs of a face appearing magically from a first wash of watercolour" is pure alchemy. This is an extraordinary book."

"Amazing Ways With Watercolour:" Fastest Selling DVD!

"Amazing Ways With Watercolour" from Town House Films is the fastest selling DVD with the company to date! Record breaking pre-orders for this much awaited film saw requests for copies flooding in from all over the world. A wonderful introduction into working with watercolour minus the use of a preliminary sketch this DVD removes the fear, stress or pressure from worry about how to use watercolour. Instead the focus is on having fun, enjoying vibrant colour combinations and allowing the medium to create the subjects with just a little help from the artist. A really exciting new DVD to own. Whilst the DVD sold out in the first few months since its' release due to popularity it is now in stock and available directly from Town House Films.
